White Sox regain Chicago bragging rights over Cubs
Home-runs from Carlos Quentin , Brian Anderson and Jim Thome, coupled with a solid pitching performance from Mark Buehrle, helped Chicago White Sox to a 5-1 victory over local rivals the Cubs on Sunday. On thier home turf - Cellular Field - the White Sox turned the table on last weekend's defeat.
White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said: "It's going to be a different Monday in Chicago - I bet White Sox fans can't wait to get up for work because I know that was tough for them last weekend. It's nice to see the fans with a smile on their face."
Being home turned out to be the biggest factor in the six frenetic games between two first-place teams.
"It's kind of crazy baseball," Guillen added.
Cubs manager Lou Piniella wasn't around for most of his team's eighth loss in 12 games. He was ejected for the first time this season after arguing an appeal call on a checked swing in the second innings.
